Re: Screeching noise

My son's computer sporadically emits a screeching noise that goes on for
varying periods. It is not apparently overheating and sounds as if it is
coming from the processor area but cannot be sure. He thinks it is some
alarm. Anyone got any clues?
If the noise is coming from a speaker, it's an alarm.
I'd guess it coming from a fan and you can remove the fan, remove the
sticker, put a drop or two of thin oil on it, spin it around a bit so
the oil will work into motor bearings. That should fix it. Or you can
buy a replacement fan, they are cheap.
